A cat that disappeared in 1997 has now been reunited with her owner ten years after she went missing. Lynx turned up at an animal sanctuary 60 miles away from her home. The animal sanctuary was able to track down her owner because Lynx had been micro chipped.

This chicken is raising three ducklings as her own after the eggs were abandoned by their natural mother. The duck who laid the eggs gave up incubating them after 21 days and the hen took over. She is now busy teaching them how to be chickens including how to scratch around for food.

This odd looking fruit is a Rambutan. I came across it in Tesco the other day and thought I would try it. From Thailand it’s a rather difficult fruit to get into but once you have peeled off the spiky outer skin it’s much the same as a lychee only bigger and perhaps a little sweeter.

Tesco have announced its latest step in their move towards world domination, not content with being the biggest supermarket in the UK, they have now decided to move into the property market. Their property sales service will let sellers list their homes on a Tesco website for a fee of £200. Sellers will also get a Tesco branded for sale sign to put outside their house. The idea is that the website will be for private sellers and Tesco say it will save them money and is a real alternative to instructing an agent. It will be interesting to see if there are any hidden fees when its launched.

This little guy is called Eclyse. He gets his interesting colour because his father is a zebra and his mother a horse. His mother apparantly took a shine to a male zebra whilst on vacation and this is the result. What amazing markings.

I came across this article which looks at how cats became domesticated. It suggests that cats actually domesticated themselves because being near people they were never short on food. The association between people and cats appears to stem from the fact that cats fed on the rodents that fed on the grain stored by people. Eventually some cats became tolerant of human contact and these cats found that rewards such a bowl of milk or a dry place to sleep came as a result of being close to people. These cats then began to breed in larger numbers because more kittens survived. The article makes for interesting reading. So basically the conclusion is my cats love me because I feed them, tell me something I didn't know.

A man at a Premier Travel Inn in Tonbridge made sure he got a good breakfast for his money. He paid for the "all you can eat" breakfast which costs £7.50. After managing to eat 15 fried breakfasts, thats an amazing 30 sausages, 20 rashers of bacon, 15 fried eggs and three tins of beans, he still found room to eat six bowls of cereal.

A librarian in Cheshire had a shock when she found a Black Widow in a bunch of grapes. The grapes had been purchased at a Tesco Express store which later called in the exterminators to check the premises. A Tesco representative said that finding one of these spiders is "a rare occurrence".

If you read my husband's blog you will know that our wheelie bin was stolen a few months ago. Bearing this in mind I found this article interesting. A wheelie bin which belongs to Peterborough City Council apparently turned up 1,200 miles away in Bulgaria. The bin was spotted by a council employee whilst she was on holiday. She was surprised to see the council's logo clearly in place. It makes me wonder where my bin ended up. Perhaps it is also sunning itself on a beach 1000 miles away.

I read this article about five kittens that were left to die in a bin. Due to the heavy rain the bin had filled with water and the poor things were left struggling to survive as the water got higher. The weakest of the kittens had lost their fight for survival and died before anyone found them; the other three were found desperately trying to stay afloat.

It always makes me so angry to read an article like this, in my opinion if you are responsible pet owner and you don’t want any kittens, you get your cat neutered. There should be no excuse for unwanted kittens. It strikes me that some people in today’s society need may need further education before they should be allowed to own an animal. Just as there is no excuse for having unwanted kittens, there is also no excuse for treating an animal like a piece of rubbish. Kittens never stay at animal shelters for long and I’m sure the three surviving kittens will soon find a loving home, its just a shame that a callous person caused the death of their siblings with needless cruelty. 

The three surviving kittens.

Its getting to that time of year when cat owners like myself need to start thinking about flea control. Fleas can be a real nuisance especially in a multi-cat household. With four cats if one cat gets fleas, then soon the whole house is infested. I usually find that prevention is better than cure, if at all possible. I am careful to change my cats flea collars every few months and so far we have been flea free for nearly two years, fingers crossed.

However, with pets it’s inevitable you will have to deal with fleas at some point. I found this useful website called fleascontrol.com that has a flea control guide to help you get rid of annoying fleas. The website has useful tips on what remedies work such as flea collars for prevention and flea shampoo and powder for tackling the problem. It also has useful information for removing fleas from the home to try and prevent further outbreaks.

An army of rubber ducks, blue turtles and green frogs is on its way to Britain. The 29,000 plastic toys broke free from a cargo ship 15 years ago and since then have been floating around Australia, Indonesia and South America. Now they are heading here and are expected to turn up in Cornwall.

I read this article about Aldo who is a pygmy hippo. He has just been born at a zoo in Paris and is one of only a few dozen pygmy hippos in Europe. Aldo was born as a result of a breeding program to try and increase numbers of the pygmy hippo in Europe.

A group of researchers are going on an expedition to try and find Bigfoot. They will visit Michigan and meet local people who claim to have seen Bigfoot with the aim of finding out whether he does, in fact exist.

I read this story about a kitten that got trapped in a toilet after it crawled inside to explore. Fire Fighters had to remove the toilet to rescue the kitten from inside the U-bend. We are always very careful to put all the toilet seats down in our house, mainly because Oscar likes to stick his paws in water and could easily fall in and get stuck. This little kitten was very lucky; I hope he learnt that toilets are not good hiding places.

I came across this article about a new hospital in Omagh. A public consultation is being held to discuss whether the hospital will be built on a graveyard. If plans go ahead then hundreds of bodies will need to be exhumed. Don't these people watch horror movies? The first rule is never build your hospital or new house on a graveyard.

Rory still has tooth ache, so is still on a diet of soup. I made a surprisingly good batch of carrot and orange soup. Basically you just boil some carrots and onions with some chicken stock, until they are soft. Then put in the blender with some freshly squeezed orange juice and blend it until it’s smooth. Lastly just reheat it. 

It’s our first wedding anniversary today and we had planned to go out for a meal tonight to celebrate. Unfortunately my husband has tooth ache and can only eat soup so it looks like we will have to postpone it to another day. He did, however, surprise me this morning with an iPod nano, which being my first iPod, I am having a great deal of fun playing with.

My cat Oscar has always suffered from runny eyes ever since we got him form the rescue centre nearly three years ago. Unfortunately the vet has said Oscar will always have the problem and there is nothing they can do to correct it. Oscar is such a happy cat, he is always pouncing on things and he is very affectionate, despite his eye problem. He does, however, get very moody when his eyes need cleaning. As you can see from the picture Oscar has runny eyes and is feeling very sorry for himself. A simple wipe of his eyes with the soothing eye wipes from the pet store or a clean tissue and Oscar is his usual happy self and back to pouncing.

I read this interesting story about a lake in Southern Chile which has suddenly disappeared. The lake was about the size of 10 football pitches and the area where it used to be is now completely dry. One theory is that an earth tremor caused the lake to drain away.

I came across this website for the World's Ugliest Dog contest. You can vote online for who you think should win. This little guy is called Elwood and he sure is ugly.

A golfer in Nevada managed to start a grass fire when he tried to get his ball out of the rough. When he knocked his ball into the dry grass and tried to hit it back onto the fairway, the golfer managed to hit something that created a spark and the dried grass set on fire. The fire burnt 20 acres of grass before it was put out by 50 firefighters. Thats what I call a bad at golf.

My cat Lucy has a new hobby, hunting newts. We have around 50 newts in our pond at the moment and as you can see by the picture Lucy spends most of her time watching them and dipping her paws in the water to try and catch them. To date she has not actually managed to catch anything but she is very persistant.

As someone who drinks quite a lot of wine I am always in need of a constant supply. I recently signed up for Virgin Wines discovery club. Basically what that means is they will send me a case of wine every quarter, based on the wines I would usually choose. If I don't like any of the selected wine then I just let them know and I don't pay for them. I also get 15% off any of the wines in the case if I want to purchase more. My first case arrives in September, so I am interested to see how the service works for me and also if their money back guarantee is as good as it seems. More updates on this to follow.

There are many hazards to watch out for when going to the beach, but apparently one of the most dangerous is sand castles. In fact more people are injured in the US falling into holes in the sand caused by children building sand castles than they are by sharks. Lifeguards are now under orders to stop children digging deep holes in the sand.

An interesting article here which discusses whether fish have feelings or not. It talks about the assumption that fish have very short memories which has recently been challenged by scientists ,who found fish actually have a memory span of a few months. Now, I feel really bad for keeping my poor goldfish is a bowl when I younger, it must have been really bored, no wonder fish never look very happy.

Its about time for another cute cat picture. This is Oscar (top) and his brother Ollie relaxing at home after a hard days pouncing in the garden. Cats have such a hard life, don't you feel sorry for them?

The European Space Agency is currently looking for six people to go on a trip to Mars. Well. almost, its a pretend trip to Mars but the crew will experience isolation and confinement. The experiement is being run to help scientists understand how people cope in extreme conditions.

A suspicious looking garden gnome was apprehended by customs officials in Australia. It was found to contain several snakes and lizards that had been smuggled from Britain. It is currently illegal to bring reptiles into Australia without a licence.

They have an unusal rat problem at the police department in India. Rats have been gnawing through beer cans and the caps of whisky bottles to get to the alcohol inside. The police department would usually sell the alcohol which is seized from illegal sellers in order to raise money, but due to their current rat problem are currently unable to do this. Rats under the influence have also been attacking people near the police buildings.

I threw a few dried out crusts of bread out for the birds today and a little while later went out into the garden to find my cats happily eating them. So, I provide nice premium cat food and gourmet biscuits and my cats choose to eat stale bread. Anyone watching them would think I am a terrible cat owner who starves her pets.

I read this article today that suggests poor quality beef from milking cows is often been sold to customers as prime fresh cuts. The National Beef Association has written to the four big supermarkets to ask them to check that their customers are not being misled. The problem is that the meat from dairy cows tends to be tougher than prime beef and some wholesalers are selling this cheaper meat on as prime cuts to boost their profits. I'm not sure whether there is any truth is these claims but I have often brought beef from a supermarket and been disappointed by the quality, finding it rather tough and tasteless.

A lorry driver was jailed for dangerous driving after he was caught eating spaghetti from a pan whilst driving his lorry. The driver who is from the Netherlands was caught near Ipswich and was stopped because he was veering over the white lines because he was using his hands to hold a knife and fork while driving his 40 tonne lorry with his knees.

I found this website where this guy makes suits of armour for cats and mice, I'm not quite sure why but the results are interesting. One thing is that missing from his website though is cats actually wearing the armour.

Milan airport has been forced to suspend flights because there are too many hares at the airport. The hares have been getting onto the runway and causing problems as well as confusing the ground radar. The airport was closed whilst a team of experts tried to catch and locate over 80 hares.

Thousands of dogs and their owners took part this weekend in an attempt to break the world record for the biggest dog walk. The unofficial number of dogs that attended was 9,128.

This cute little guy is a rare Beal's four-eyed turtle. He recently hatched at a zoo in the US and is one of only 18 known turtles in the US. The species in danger because they are collected for use in Chinese food and medicine.

It's very rare to get a picture of all the cats together but as you can see by the picture below feeding time is a very happy time in our house with all four cats tucking in.

I have been reading about this pair of Ospreys for a few weeks now to follow their progress. A few weeks ago the male Osprey found that his mate had mated with someone else and so destroyed all the eggs. She then laid another batch which were his and the first chick hatched on Thursday. Sadly, it appears that the male Osprey has now trampled on the chick and killed it whilst trying to free himself from some fishing line. Let's hope the other eggs hatch and there are no further incidents. They really are magnificent birds and with only about 130 pairs left in Scotland, they need all the help they can get.

A student has come up with an interesting idea for lolly sticks. His Plant Me Ice Lollies have a seed at one end of the stick, so when you have eaten the lolly, you just plant the stick. The seeds he uses are different types of herbs.

Apparently Russian men are risking their health by drinking aftershave and cleaning agents because they contain up to 97% alcohol. The problem which seems to be getting worse is now responsible for half of all deaths in working men in Russia. Hazardous drinking (drinking excesses of bear, wine and spirits) is also a problem in Russia, but people who consume non beverage alcohol are nine times more likely to die.

I read this article that claims pesticides are found in a third of all foods, at high enough levels to be harmful to the consumer. The foods tested included potatoes and apples. What I find worrying is the consumer has no way no knowing whether the food they buy contains pesticides or not. I guess the only way you can be totally sure is to grow your own.

Waterbeds can be beneficial for a number of reasons. They offer total body support so you can sleep with greater comfort. They also have a hygienic surface, so dust mites are unable to thrive on them; a great alternative if you are allergic to dust mites. waterbeds also offer a more controllable sleeping temperature. You may think that a waterbed will not be very durable but they can actually last up to 15 years because unlike an ordinary bed there are no springs to break down. Bearing this in mind now is a good time to visit my waterbed shop they currently have a sale on their waterbeds and also offer free shipping

A very interesting article here. Apparently there are two types of people. An A-person is one who rises early in the morning and a B-person is one who finds it hard to function in the morning and works best later in the day. With this in mind Denmark is starting to introduce a new way of working. Some offices allow employees to simply turn up for work when they want to, meaning that when they do arrive for work, they are at their most productive. A school in Copenhagen is also following suit with lessons that start later in the day for B-people. It seems a very interesting way to work. I am more of an A-person myself, I like to have an early start and find my concentration is worse in the afternoon. I think my husband would agree with this way of working, however, he finds it hard to get out of bed in morning, so he must be a B-person.

It’s that time of year when the cats are moulting and we have fur everywhere. To try and combat that we brush our cats or at least we try to. Ollie is by far the most furry of our four cats but he is a little sensitive (mild understatement) when it comes to be brushed. As soon as Ollie sees you approaching with brush in hand he starts a high pitched wailing noise and tries to get as far away from you as possible. It’s usually best to chase him outside because when he starts this wailing his party trick is to poo on the floor to punish you for scaring him. Obviously this is easier to clean up outside. The brushing process usually goes something this:

Step One: Chase Ollie into garden and shut all entrances to the house.

Step Two: Chase Ollie around the garden with brush in hand whilst he continually wails at you (the wailing noise sounds like is being strangled and I’m sure if anyone walked past they would assume I had my hands around his neck).

Step Three: When you manage to get close enough to Ollie quickly brush him as many times as you can whilst avoiding claws and teeth.

Step Four: Keep repeating steps one through to three until; either the Ollie has been brushed and the loose fur has been removed; or Ollie starts making a low growling noise in his throat. This is the sign that he has had enough grooming for one day and will bite you.

Ollie glaring at me after being brushed.

A man who brought a new bed for his daughter from Argos had a shock when it turned out it was full of termites. The bed complete with its visitors had been shipped from China and Argos are currently looking into how they got there.

A squirrel in Germany went on a violent rampage attacking three people. After attacking a woman and a builder, it finally met its match when it tried to attack a pensioner who beat it to death with his crutch.

A limited edition cucumber Pepsi has just been launched in Japan. It does not actually contain cucumber, instead being cucumber flavoured. I wonder whether they will release it over here.

I read this article about a guy who caught a blue lobster. Apparently lobsters can turn blue when they produce excessive amount of protein. If you cook them they turn red like regular lobsters though.

A gardener trimming his hedge encountered an iguana that had set up home there. Attempts are now being found to trace the rouge iguana's owner.

An interesting article here from the BBC. There are 20 short clips of people smiling, all you have to do is tell whether they are fake or real. I got 18 out of 20.

In a rather bizarre robbery two men assaulted another with a swordfish, after they broke into his home. The victim who lives in Queensland, Australia was left with cuts to his arms, hands and back. An odd choice of weapon but surprisingly effective, it seems.

Orange have been criticised over its use of the term "unlimited" used in its advertising for broadband, because they do in fact limit customers to 40GB of monthly downloads and 1,000 minutes of calls. Whilst most customers are unlikely to use anything close to this download limit, it still seems to be false advertising to say there are no limits when they quite obviously are.

A colony of bats has been found at a zoo. Not unusual, you might think, but these bats were found roosting in one of the zoo's maintenance sheds and includes 49 pipistrelle bats. It is thought to be a breeding colony.

An interesting article here on the top ten most common passwords, its worth checking this list and if you use one of them, it might be an idea to change it.

An invasion of caterpillars has descended on the Lake District. Millions of Antler Moth caterpillars have hatched in the Helvellyn and Skiddaw areas. This only happens on such a scale every eight or years. The caterpillars are currently munching their way through the grass leaving bald patches and no food for the sheep.

Des the cat has 26 toes, quite a few more than the average moggy which usually only has 18. Des has two extra toes on his front paws and one extra on his back paws. Thats 8 more claws he has to scratch you with.

A picture of his back paw.

If you are thinking of buying a new car you might want to check out consumerreports.org. You can select a make of car and see a crash test video of how it performs in safety tests. My car is too old to even be on the website, I guess that means its time to get a new one.

A bakery has produced a new range of dog biscuits that are made with ingredients also suitable for people. That means you can sit down with dog and both enjoy a snack. According to this article Jasper the dog quite liked the new biscuits but his owner was not so convinced.

I read this article about people that have managed to grow unusual plants in their gardens. A lady in Essex managed to grow a pineapple by putting the top part of a pineapple fruit in water and then planting it when it grew roots. I'm off to Tesco next week to buy myself a pineapple to try growing one myself.

A group of 200 naked and semi naked cyclists cycled through Brighton today to highlight the environmental benefits of cycling. The World Naked Bike Ride has now been running for fours years with more than 60 cities participating this year.

If you are prone to allergies then is the time of year they generally start acting up. You can help prevent many allergies by investing in humidifiers, or helping healthy living with an air purifier or even using a specialised vacuum cleaner. www.bestvacuum.com specialises in all of these devices. You can buy various humidifiers that remove impurities from the air whilst also humidifying the air at the same time. Their vacuum cleaners also cover a variety of problems, I have recently purchased a Dyson animal which having four cats I find great for picking up the handfuls of fur they leave behind when they are shedding their fur during the summer.

Marks and Spencer and BHS have just announced they will sell a new range of school uniforms. Whilst that in itself is not unusual, these unifroms will be made from recycled plastic which has been melted and woven into yarn. The end result is a range of fleeces, shirts, trousers and skirts that will go on sale this summer. The whole uniform will cost around £20.

Its fathers day on the 17th June and if you are looking for an unusal present you might want to head down to the joke shop for one of these giant mugs. Priced at only £6.99 delivery is free anywhere within the UK.

If you are busy and don't have chance to get to the post office, why not send your fathers day card from PC2Paper. They have a wide range of card designs and can be fully customised with your own message. You can also send a your dad a letter and upload your own pictures.

You would expect the police to be very aware of simple security measures such as locking doors and windows but it seems not all policemen are. A police station in Northern Ireland was burgled after police officers went on patrol and left the windows unlocked and the alarm switched off. Great security guys.

Apparently if you want to lose weight a greek diet could be the key. A study showed that a typical meal in Greece contained the least calories when compared to other holiday destinations. I don't know about that, but when I went to Greece the food was no nice I had second helpings of everything.

If like me you live near an airport, in my case its Heathrow, you might be interested in the new website just launched by BAA. Covering Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted it allows people to see which flights fly over a particular area. So now when a plane flies over your house at six a clock in the morning or disrupts a peaceful day in the garden you can use this handy website to see exactly what plane it is and even how high its flying.

When I got my bread maker around six years ago I thought at the time it would be one of those gadgets that you use a few times and then it gets pushed to the back of the cupboard. During the first two or three years we used it to make all of our bread and never purchased any bread in the supermarket. Whilst we don't use it quite that often more, preferring to only make fresh bread at the weekends, it still gets put to regular use in the making of pizza dough. I like the fact that its so easy. Just put the flour, yeast, salt, sugar and water into the bread maker and leave it whilst you do something else. After an hour or so, you have perfect pizza dough. Then just add the toppings of your choice. I added tomato, mozzarella, red peppers and pepperoni to mine. Pictured here is the result before I put it the oven. When this bread maker eventually dies I will be sure to replace it. Certainly a gadget I can't do without.

This cool purple frog is one of 24 new species just discovered in Suriname in South America. Scientists also discovered four other species of frogs, six new fish, twelve new beetles and an ant.

Mobile phones with cow ringtones are being used to lure leopards away from human settlements in India. Forest guards have downloaded animal ringtones for their mobile phones which they then attach to loudspeakers behind a cage. The leopard attracted by the sound of mooing then gets trapped inside when it comes looking for its lunch. The trapped leopards are all released back into the forest.

It seems when there is a full moon there are more violent incidents reported. That's according to the Sussex police force who have started putting more police officers on the street of Brighton when there is a full moon because of the sharp rise in trouble reported. It appears that lunar gravity encourages people out when there is a full moon. There have been no reports of anyone turning into wolves yet though.

If you think the rivers are polluted in UK you might be shocked by this picture. The river Citarum in West Java seems to be more rubbish than river. The river that provides the main source of drinking water for cities such as Jakarta is polluted with rotting rubbish from the homes and factories surrounding it. In fact the river is so polluted there are fears that the hydropower stations in the area may start corroding. Not only that, pollution here is likely to double by 2025.

These cute little pigs have be creating works of art which are currently selling for £16 each. They live at Pennywell Farm in Devon.

A man in the Philippines has apparently been shot dead because he was singing out of tune in a karaoke bar. A slightly extreme reaction but a warning to all those that decide to try karaoke... it can kill you.

I found this website SendMeScent.com that offers a wide range of perfume and aftershave. Personally I wear perfume every day and tend to have seven or eight different bottles open at any one time, so I’m always looking to try new fragrances. My favourite at the moment is Be Delicious by DKNY on sale here for only £34.50 which is quite a saving from the RRP of £48.95. Other favourites of mine are Cool Water by Davidoff and Rush by Gucci both available here at cheaper prices than you would find on the high street. If you are in no hurry for your purchase you can get free second class delivery or alternatively pay an extra £5.95 for next day delivery within the UK. You can also add gift wrapping at the checkout if it’s for a present.

I read this article about animals that have managed to get their heads stuck in things. From cans to walls, some animals don't learn from mistakes.

Cat in a tin.

I read this interesting article on Web Worker Daily about the nine best practices for working from home. I can identify with most of the nine points. As someone who works from home most of the time I find that I regularly work until late at night, just because my computer is so close. Its also difficult to switch off at weekends and I tend to find that all my time is spent working. The article also highlights the problem that friends and relatives often assume you not busy just because you are at home. Once again I find that some of friends tend to assume its ok to pop round in the afternoon and although it is nice to them it does usually mean I have work all evening to make up the lost time. Its clear to me from reading the article I still have to find the balance between my work and my personal life.

Lucy the cat managed to survive for seven weeks trapped under the floorboards. Its thought that she survived by licking condensation from pipes to obtain water.

I found this interesting website where a guy has managed to attach a camera to his cat. The camera is set to take a picture every two minutes so by the end of the day he has a picture diary of what the cat has been up to during the day. Very interesting I must try this with my cats.

I came across this article about a cat that has apparently grown wings. I'm not sure how authentic the picture is but it's still quite cool.

We had to break into our house yesterday after Rory lost his key. This involved us having to force open a small window so we could open a larger window from the outside. Rory then crawled through the larger window to open the door from the inside. It amazed me that someone of Rory's size could fit through the window but he managed it. Rory later found the key in his pocket so it was all for nothing in the end.

It did however, make me think about security. You naturally think your house is very secure but when you can break into your own house within 20 minutes it makes you wonder how long it would take a burglar to do it. It’s certainly the last time I leave the house unattended with even the smallest window open. Next time we lock ourselves out, we will have to call a lock smith as there will be no open windows to crawl through.

If you are planning a trip to Ireland and like me find it hard to survive with no internet access you might want to visit Carlow. A project run by the council in partnership with E-net has introduced 24 hour wireless access to all of its main streets making it one of the first towns in the EU to offer open air web access.

A man in California has broken the world record for hot dog eating after managing to eat a record 59 hot dogs in only 12 minutes. Amazing.

The European Commission is looking to relax rules that currently stop farmers feeding animals on the carcasses of other animals. This practice was stopped seven years ago because of the links with BSE and the fact that it was widely spread by feeding the remains of infected cows to other cattle. Apparently the commission is going to investigate the safety of feeding pig meal to chickens and vice versa. The reason they want to reintroduce the practice is to save money, it is cheaper to feed farm animals on the remains of other animals rather than on expensive vegetable protein. Sainsbury's and Asda have already said they will not sell livestock fed on animal by-products. I know where I will be doing my meat shopping if the ban is lifted.

I read this interesting article. When rebuilding a driveway Peter William Eaves came across some crabs that had apparently lived under the concrete for 40 years with no water. A total of thirteen live crabs were found under the driveway. The strange thing about this story is that the nearest sea water is 4km away. Scientists are trying to find out how they got there and more importantly how they survived for so long.

The RSPB has removed the word "cock" from its website as it has been deemed offensive. Apparently in todays society we are now unable to refer to male birds by their correct name. A cock robin must now be referred to as a male robin.

We all get the stage when we need a bit more living space. For one man in India that should never be a problem. Mukesh Ambani India's richest man is building a 60 storey palace which will include a helipad, health club, a home theatre and six floors of car parking. The palace will house his 600 full time staff and his family.
